Albert J. Ellis Airport will see new recycling materials after a grant was approved this week.

Onslow County Solid Waste partnered with the airport to apply for grant from the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources. The grant comes from the agency's Division of Environmental Awareness and Outreach Community Waste Reduction Grant funding to provide updated and additional recycle bins and educational materials for the airport.

The county received notice in June that N.C. DENR approved the projectís funding for $20,000. Monday night, the commissioners approved the grant. The county will provide a local match of $11,944 which was funded in the 2013-14 budget.
